Originally published by Ministry of Defence – Kenya — Read the original article →
Exposure to the diverse capabilities, operational roles and traditions of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) is fundamental to developing well-rounded military leaders. In this regard, cadets from the Kenya Military Academy (KMA) recently undertook a familiarisation tour of selected KDF installations to enhance their understanding of the three Services and their respective contributions to the defence of the nation.
At the Air Base, the cadets were familiarised with Kenya Air Force capabilities, air operations and the critical role of aviation in supporting military operations. The visits also included visit to Embakasi Garrison and Combat Engineers Brigade, where they gained insights into the organisation, responsibilities and operational capabilities of the respective formations.
The engagements provided an opportunity to appreciate the specialised roles played by different military units in supporting the overall KDF mission.
